My attempts yesterday to 'make' our Grannys mothers cards were a disaster!


I tried to find good places for ideas on the web, but didn't really find anywhere. Maybe just a bad day for me;)


Where should I be looking?


Also does any one subscribe to the 'creative mag' is seems expensive at ?7 per copy- but maybe worth it?


Thanks,

Activity village is a brilliant resource - goes thru festivals throughout the year - Martin Luther King Day, St patricks day, Hannukah, Divali, Christmas - it's great. And...it's free!

And there are many others of course - I'm just a faithful follower of this one now :o)

http://www.yellowmoon.org.uk/ Not cheap, but very interesting, lots of stuff. I really like their products.


I heard the ? shop in Lewisham is good for stickers but haven't been recently.


The Mister Maker range from MotherCare looks promising. They do a Bumper Craft Box. http://www.mothercare.com/Mister-Maker-Bumper-Craft-Box/dp/B004QB50MM


Little Saff and I save the boxes from catfood sachets and turn them into all sorts of things, like treasure boxes etc. I also saved 10 1L milk cartons, and we're going to turn them into bowling pins!


Oh, also check out the Arts, Crafts, and Books section on the Myriad website. A lot of the stuff is for 4+ years, but you could adapt it down to younger. http://www.myriadonline.co.uk/natural-crafts-and-craft-materials.php

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
